ROME (Reuters) – An art collector has found a tooth, thumb and finger of the renowned Italian scientist Galileo Galilei who died in the 17th century, Florence's History of Science Museum announced.

The body parts, along with another finger and vertebrae, were cut from Galileo's corpse by scientists and historians during a burial ceremony held 95 years after his death in 1642.

Giovanni Targioni Tozzetti, a science historian who cut away the parts and wrote about the ceremony, confessed he had found it hard to resist the temptation to take away the skull which had housed such extraordinary genius, the museum said.

The newly-found relics passed from one collector to another until they went missing in 1905. The remaining finger and vertebrae have been conserved since 1737 in a mummified state in museums in Florence and Padua.
